A Student Experience Officer works with students to make sure they’re getting the most from their educational experience. You might work at a school, tertiary institution or other registered training organisation. Student Experience Officers provide advice on things like study progress or subject selection and you might also provide guidance on personal issues or refer students to counsellors or other support services. You might have to organise events such as graduations or liaise with outside industries to coordinate work experience placements.
A Student Experience Officer needs to be able to communicate with a wide range of people. You’ll need to be understanding and able to solve problems quickly. Student Experience Officers should be organised and have excellent time management skills. It’s important that you can multitask and plan ahead for future projects.
In Australia, a full time Student Experience Officer generally earns $960 per week ($49,920 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
The number of people in this role has dropped slightly in recent years. There are currently 2,700 people working as a Student Experience Officer in Australia compared to 2,900 five years ago. Student Experience Officers may find work across all regions of Australia but may find more opportunities in larger cities and towns where major educational institutions are based.
